Songs in Autumn Leaves

[Verse 1] The sky is wearing gray again The light glows soft and thin The trees undress in silence Letting go what might have been There’s a whisper in the branches A hush that clings like frost Not mourning what is ending Just counting what was lost [Chorus] The songs in autumn leaves They don't cry, they don't grieve They fall like old confessions Soft and slow, with no regret They sing of roots that wait below Of sleep before the snow Every ending knows to breathe In the songs in autumn leaves [Verse 2] The wind walks through the fields now With memories in its hands And hums a tune of promise Even as the color stands We rake up what’s been broken Stack the wood against the night There’s peace in all this dying And new life beneath the white [Chorus] The songs in autumn leaves They don't cry, they don't grieve They fall like old confessions Soft and slow, with no regret They sing of roots that wait below Of sleep before the snow Every ending knows to breathe In the songs in autumn leaves [Bridge] We are not what fades away We’re the seeds beneath decay Spring will find us where we lay Bound to winter’s disarray [Solo] [Chorus - Out] The songs in autumn leaves In their sighs, they just believe They fall like prayerful answers To traditions of the past They sing of roots that wait below Of sleep before the snow There’s a future folded deep In the songs in autumn leaves [END]
